Matt,
thanks, no modules specfied

so I should add IPTABLES_MODULES="nf_nat_ftp nf_conntrack_ftp"

-----------------------------
IPTABLES_MODULES=""
IPTABLES_MODULES_UNLOAD="yes"
IPTABLES_SAVE_ON_STOP="no"
IPTABLES_SAVE_ON_RESTART="no"
IPTABLES_SAVE_COUNTER="no"
IPTABLES_STATUS_NUMERIC="yes"
----------------------------
